Infrared asphalt repair is a technique that uses infrared technology to heat up and melt the damaged asphalt so it can be reshaped and repaired without needing replacement. This method is gaining popularity due to its cost-effectiveness, efficiency, and environmental benefits.

The process starts by using an infrared heater to heat up the damaged area until the asphalt becomes soft and pliable. Once it reaches this state, any debris or loose particles are removed from the crack or pothole. Then fresh hot mix asphalt is added if necessary to fill in any voids. The softened existing asphalt is then mixed with the new material creating a seamless blend.

This technique not only repairs cracks but also addresses other common pavement issues like potholes, rough surfaces caused by wear and tear or weathering effects.
